Cybersecurity: Just Another Business Issue?
Posted by David Brousell on April 22, 2014
Cybersecurity has become established as an on-going business issue for manufacturing companies. This may come as no surprise given the increased frequency and notoriety of cyber attacks on businesses and other organizations. But, even though executives at manufacturing companies acknowledge the problem, many appear to be still in the process of putting together a rational strategy to deal with it.
That's one of the major findings of a new Manufacturing Leadership Council poll on cybersecurity. The poll also revealed gaps between the perception of cyber threats and companies' allocation of resources to deal with those threats as well as a clear indication that many expect the problem to worsen in the years ahead.Start a Discussion

ISO-9000 Quality Management Systems (QMS) can be a very useful tool for capturing and preserving critically important business process as well as laying out a means for future improvement and growth. However, I often come across situations where ISO-9000 QMS actually brings harm to business processes when this need not be the case. This happens when the QMS is not a living document or is impractical. In either case, it is rigid in a way that restricts growth much in the same way that a rigid, too-small pot restricts a plant's growth. Read More →
Most manufacturers would tell you that innovation is one of their most important activities. Without innovation, growth is stymied, the future becomes uncertain. Yet, according to a new Manufacturing Leadership Council poll on innovation-- primarily focused on small and medium-size companies--most manufacturers approach innovation less than rigorously and sometimes with a surprising informality.

Call it the Engagement Paradox. On one hand, manufacturers tell us that a self-directed, engaged workforce is an increasingly important competitive advantage. Why? As more real-time information is available on the plant floor, workers need to be able to make good decisions themselves. That means they need to understand how their work processes fit with and affect others. They need to understand strategic goals and metrics that are tied to desired outcomes and how these should be the basis of their decisions. And they need to be able to make the right decisions quickly, as often as possible without needing to ask supervisors what to do. Read More →

In the midst of a booming market, the news in the automotive industry these days is anything but euphoric, as recent reports about General Motors, Toyota, and Tesla Motors would suggest, raising some gut-level questions about the notion of customer-centricity in the industry. Read More →
Putting the customer at the center of your business model may sound like an obvious thing to do. After all, what sort of business would you have without customers? But the idea of customer-centricity goes way beyond being responsive to customer demand, achieving higher customer satisfaction ratings, getting a product delivered on time, or focus-group testing a new product.

What good is a manufacturing renaissance if it doesn't produce lots of jobs for unskilled or semi-skilled workers? That's the backlash reaction we so often hear following reports that U.S. manufacturing activity continues to rise. It is certainly true that, it's current revival notwithstanding, manufacturing is not likely to generate semi-skilled jobs the way it once did. That's because automation-driven productivity has reduced the need for direct manufacturing labor. At the same time, automation has created a demand for a new generation of educated, technically-proficient workers. Read More →

Top Line: Alex Ovechkin roasts critics, Sutter has words for Obama, more links
By Allan Muir
A notated guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:
• It's swell that Alexander Ovechkin is having fun with his critics now that he's finally producing, but he wouldn't have been on the receiving end of all that grief if he'd performed like this the past two seasons. Let's hope he keeps it up. The NHL is a better league when he plays like he cares.
• Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter plans to bend Barack Obama's ear about the Keystone XL pipeline when the Kings meet the President today at the White House. Hey, why waste a chance to talk to the guy, right?
• While Ray Shero's trade acquisitions are being lauded in Pittsburgh, the true value of a couple of aging players is being questioned elsewhere.
• Injured Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson updated the media on his condition last night. Unfortunately, the prognosis isn't good, buddy.
• Damien Cox says a Jarome Iginla trade won't be a home run for the Flames, but they might acquire some useful parts if they can find a willing partner. For the time being, Calgary management is staying quiet about any possible deal.
• The Oilers could get a boost down the home stretch if they're able to win the Danny DeKeyser sweepstakes.
• Minnesota's 7-4 win over Dallas kept one streak going and ended another. It marked the sixth-straight win for the Wild — a first in franchise history — and ended a 10-year losing streak in Texas.
• Milan Lucic scored for the first time in 15 games as he and the Bruins pulled out of a mini-slump.
• The Maple Leafs still haven't won in a shootout this season, but they have to be thrilled pulling three points out of a two-game set with Boston.
• A tough three-games-in-four-nights roadie produced six points and a bit of breathing room for the Red Wings.
• Losing teammate Douglas Murray was tough, but the Sharks persevered to produce a 5-3 win over the Ducks in what may have been their strongest effort since the season's opening weeks. A wake-up call for the rest of the boys? Maybe…
• The Ducks have now lost three straight for the first time this season. It'll be interesting to see how they handle a little adversity.
• Nashville's Sergei Kostitsyn buried the memories of his last game against Edmonton with a goal and an assist in a 3-2 win over the Oilers.
• The Rangers are hoping for bigger things from 5′-7″ Mats Zuccarello during his second tour with the club. New York re-signed the winger yesterday after his KHL season ended. New York hopes he can kickstart its limp offense.
• They still have the NHL's worst power play, but after scoring with the extra man in four straight games, the Sabres are moving in the right direction.
• Alexei Yashin is returning to North America…as head coach of Russia's team for the Women's World Championships.
• The Minnesota Gophers women put together a 41-0 season on the way to their second-straight national title.
• Come on…there has to be video of this amazing puck drop fail somewhere! Help me out, people.

Hello, I know negative magins are not good practice and you want to avoid using them.
I was wondering if you can help me with this situation.
I am using a DW premade layout fixed, 1 column, header and footer.
I have a footer image that fades up into the content area. I want the content area to overlap the footer image a little. Now I am able to do it with a negative margin and it looks good. But what would be an alternative so I did not have to use negative margins? any ideas?
Can you provide a link? There are a couple ways to do this depending on your design.
One is you can certainly use two images instead of one. Have your footer and content area together with no spacing in between and have the bottom part of your footer graphic in the footer and the top half of it in the content area as a background that is aligned to the bottom. Thats just one way, I am sure there is many ways to do this including AP Divs, etc.
sorry don't have link.
so your saying take the image out and slice it in half. Then bring it back in DW use bottom part of the image as bg in the footer and top part of image as bg in the content area?
How would you align bg to just the bottom?
And would I still be able to change the bg color of the content area, even if I am using a bg image at just the bottom?
Also what would be the other ways of doing this without using negative margins or ap?
Is there other ways?

Have a look here http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=b0029
so basically when it comes to negative margins, you want to avoid them if you can, but if you need to use them its ok, just make sure your site looks good in all browsers...is that a right assumption, or what does everyone think about negative margins?

I don't know who gave the advice to avoid negative margins, I have been using them them since starting with CSS about 12 years ago. Sure the site should look good in all browsers, but that applies to all styling aspects.
I thought neg margins where a bad thing, I guess not.
I know ie6 and 7 have problems with them, but there are some quick fixes for those from what I read.
So there is really no cons then for using neg margins?
Have a look at the following document which validates as HTML5
<!doctype html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
body {width: 980px; margin: auto;}
#content {width:100%; float:left; margin-right:-200px;}
#sidebar {width:200px; float:left;}
ul {list-style:none;}
li {line-height:1.3em;}
.col2 {margin-left:100px;}
.col3 {margin-left:200px;}
.top {margin-top:-2.6em;} /* the clincher */

Main content in here

Eggs

Ham

Bread

Butter

Flour

Cream

I'm the Sidebar!

Ooops! Humble Pie, the list does not work in IE<=7. Must find another way for the list until such time that these browsers are not main stram any more, see here http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp
wow no one uses ie6-7 anymore, I knew numbers where getting low, but I thought there where more of those die hards out there lol, guess not.
So really there is no cons to using neg margins, besides 3% of IE6-7 users?
Another convert

Additional Ways to Shop: Fishing 101
Bass Pro Shops Fishing
Base Camp
Additional Ways to Shop: Ascend
Pitching a tent under the stars is fun, but foul weather can ruin a tent camping trip quickly, making participants downright miserable. Hotels, on the other hand, are noisy, expensive and often located far away from desired outdoor destinations. Many outdoor types are finding that an RV (recreational vehicle) offers the best compromise. RVs can serve as a mini home away from home or (in the case of larger motorhomes) a near replica of home.
RV types include truck campers, 5th wheels, folding camper trailers, travel trailers and sport utility RVs or "toy haulers." There are also three classifications of RV motorhomes (A, B and C). If you are seeking flexibility, towable RVs will permit you to leave the unit behind while you drive away and go exploring. Many towable units are also smaller than the larger full-sized motorhomes that some RV users find intimidating to drive.
So what is the best type of RV for you and your family? There are many options, unit designs, and floor plans to consider. Start by determining how much space you need. Consider how you'll use your RV. Research current RV features and determine what features you desire most. Finally, visit a dealer and walk through as many RVs as possible.
One important decision all RV buyers face is to drive or tow. Motorhomes tend to cost more than towables because you are buying an engine, chassis and axles with wheels. On the upside, you don't have to worry about hook-up hassles and possible strain on your car or truck's engine, brakes and suspension.
In motorhome classifications, Type A are the large units, and these can cost from $40,000 to more than $500,000. You generally do not need a special license or CDL to drive the larger units, but check state requirements when in doubt. Motorhomes also include the Type B van campers and the slightly bigger Type C with additional space over the cab. You'll find many designs, lengths and features in this category.
"Winnebago, for example, has more than 12 motorhome models, and each has different floor plans and layouts," says Kelli Harms, public relations manager for Winnebago. "One decision buyers face is having the galley (kitchen) in the front or mid-coach. Motorcoach beds are usually found in the rear. We permit buyers to select from several different options and modules to make the RV more personable for them." Buyers can also choose different wood finishes, interior colors, floor coverings, and fabric styles in some motorhomes, and also in the towable units.
Towable RVs range from the lightweight pop-up campers with canvas sides to full-size conventional travel trailers spanning up to 35 feet. Also in this category are truck campers that slide into an open truck's bed, and 5th wheel versions that attach to a special hook-up mounted in the truck's bed. It's important to match the load weight to the tow vehicle's towing capacity. Some RVs will also require the use of special bars, bigger hitches and hitch balls, and possibly electric brake hook-ups. The dealer where you buy or rent a unit can help you determine the needed adjustments.
Today's RVs are a far cry from earlier campers and motorhomes, and consumer demands have led to RVs that include everything you have at home -- or so it seems. Expect to spend at least several weeks or months looking at RV models and inspecting floor plans before you open your wallet. You'll also have to decide whether to tow or drive. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
"RV shoppers should realize that motorhomes come in many lengths," said Harms. "Find the one that's right for you and your family -- one with the desired floor plan, features and required space. Bunk beds are great with families, and some RV models have numerous DVD players where occupants can watch movies in bed. The first step, however, begins with selecting the right floor plan for you."
When you need space for storage, most RVs now have multiple storage areas and often have pass-through compartments to store -- and access -- larger items. Some models also offer easy-to-access compartments that house like units, such as water and electric coming in under the same opening so all "services" are easy to access and check.
If you want the comforts of home, you'll find full-size furniture in many models, including couches that become cushy beds, as well as comfortable queen-size beds. Beds are a big purchase point for many RV buyers. If the mattress in the unit you are considering feels hard when you lay on it for a test rest, it will only become harder during the night as you attempt sleep. Ask for a mattress upgrade, which many dealers can do for free, or for a minimal charge.
Is staying warm or cool high on your priorities list? Many RVs have air and heating systems complete with thermostats. Yes, you can also get a mini-heat pump on some units. The good news is that a top notch heating unit with proper insulation and construction can turn some RVs into 3-season units. And if you really like luxury, you can even buy an RV with an electric or gas fireplace.
When it's time for food storage and cooking, you'll find items in many RVs that rival your home's systems (only slightly smaller). Today's RVs often have refrigerators and freezers that power with electricity, and can then convert to propane power when the electricity is not available. Many travel trailers and RVs now have two propane tanks, thus no down-time while you search for a place to exchange or fill a tank. To keep things running smoothly, many units also have a deep-cycle, 12-volt battery to keep appliances, lights and other systems operating normally. Lack of power and convenience is a problem of the past!
If you need space and think RVs mean crowded conditions, think again. With extensions, or slide-outs, rooms can grow larger and space can be expanded. Most movable room extensions are electric powered and expand out on the sides to give much more interior room. While one or two are standard, there are models with up to five slide-out areas.
Need water or a hot shower? You are fully covered in many RV units. While plumbing was always an issue with earlier RV models, today's changes and innovations for water storage and containment have created trouble-free plumbing service. You'll find more drains, and possibly meters that reveal how much clean water, gray water and black water is being stored in each appropriate tank.
Electrical management was an issue with older RV units, and fuses would blow when circuits were overloaded. Better wiring and designated circuits have reduced these problems. Most units still power under 30- or 50-AMP systems, so plan accordingly and shop carefully for any extension cords or plug-in adapters.
"If there's any feature in your home you can't live without, you could find it in an RV," continues Harms. "This includes stackable washers and dryers, a dishwasher and many TVs." Winnebago offers some motorhome models with four TVs, including one for outside use. TV antennas are standard on many RVs, and cable hookups can be found in some units. A few RV models have satellite dishes and internet access options.
According to the Recreational Vehicle Institute Association, nearly half of the recently surveyed RV owners indicated that they planned to travel more this year than they did the previous year. More than 8.2 million US households already have RVs, and this number is expected to grow in the years ahead. There are several strong reasons for the growth.
Aging baby boomers who are retiring and seeking travel is one strong factor. RVs also offer savings when compared to airline tickets, motel rooms and the cost of eating out. Some cost saving estimates range from 15% to 75% when compared to flying and using motels. A motel room generally starts at $100 to $200 for basic rooms, without the holiday weekend spikes. RV campsites with electricity and water cost $18 to $30 per night. Using an RV can also reduce health concerns, cleanliness issues, and permits increased privacy. RVs are now more fuel efficient, financed easily, and often you can rent to try before you buy.
Another plus for many RV owners is that the lanterns, cook stoves, and other assorted camping gear that they already own can serve double duty around the RV. Camping gear is known for being compact and lightweight, and these are big factors to consider when you load an RV for travel.
RV campgrounds are also often found near outdoor destinations, often by lakes and in forests. This often means more fishing and hunting time, and less travel and drive time. Today's many RV models offer the options to go wherever you want without giving up the comforts of "home."

TELLURIDE – For the second year in a row, there will be no fireworks in the Telluride Town Park on July 4.
The Telluride Town Council voted on Tuesday to cancel the display, due to unfavorable weather conditions. Council went further, and instituted a blanket policy banning all fireworks displays for July 4, both public and private.
Telluride Fire Protection District Chief Scott Bennett was asked by council to discuss ongoing operations to construct the annual fireworks display and to identify safety and fire concerns. Bennett agreed that conditions in the valley were exceptionally dry, but added he could decrease the size and amount of fireworks he used, thus reducing and managing the risk of igniting a fire.
Citing the abnormally dry conditions, Councilor Thom Carnevale said, "I understand it's a 5 to 10 percent risk, but it's still a risk."
Having considered the lack of water and firefighting capacity, Carnevale was one of the first members of council to offer a "no" vote to the proposed fireworks display. Each member spoke to a similar point, eventually voting, with apparent reluctance, for a blanket policy banning all public and private fireworks displays.
With hot, dry and extremely windy conditions blanketing the region over the past week, firefighters struggling to contain several wildfires throughout Southwest Colorado have had little help from the weather. A change in the weather pattern is expected to ease the conditions over the next week.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Matthew Aleksa, who works out of the agency's Grand Junction office, said an area of low pressure over the Pacific Northwest and a ridge of high pressure over the Great Plains has created a strong southwest flow over most of Southwestern Colorado for more than a week.
"This strong southwest flow has made it fairly windy and dry, leading to the fire conditions that we have seen recently," Aleksa said on Tuesday. "Currently we are in a transition period where a ridge of high pressure is building over the Four Corners region. Once that builds, it will remain over the area and then shift to the Great Basin by the weekend. It will still be dry and hot but less windy."
Aleksa said June is typically one of the driest months of the year and that apart from slightly above average temperatures, the recent weather pattern has been fairly typical. This change in weather, particularly the high pressure ridge moving into the Great Basin, could soon lead to the summer's monsoonal pattern and the moisture associated with it.
"As far as a really good signature for a monsoon, it's hard to say at this point," Aleksa said, when asked if the monsoonal moisture is in the forecast. "Typically it starts right at the beginning of July. Right now, our models don't go out that far. We will start to get a better picture next week. I do think we are showing some hints of moisture working its way up into Colorado."
Until then, Aleksa said fire crews fighting the numerous fires in Southwestern Colorado will have to do so in slightly above-average temperatures and less wind.
Firefighters are continuing efforts to contain the East Fork Fire near Silver Jack Reservoir. They are up against remote, steep terrain and windy conditions, which is making containment a challenge.
On Sunday a firefighter suffered a "rock to the chest," according to U.S. Forest Service spokesperson Anne Janik.
Janik said the firefighter was thought to have the "wind knocked out of him" while working in the steep terrain; she said fellow firefighters are grateful the large rock didn't hit the firefighter in the head. As a precaution a helicopter was dispatched and transported the firefighter to Montrose Memorial Hospital where he was treated and released that same day.
The fire threatens about 35 structures, one of those is a cabin owned by Montrose resident Lars Erickson and his family for the past eight years.
Erickson has been making daily trips to the cabin retrieving anything of family value from the cabin and working to protect the cabin by re-routing spring water to flood the area around the structure.
Erickson estimated the fire to be about four miles from his family's cabin and said he has nothing but the highest respect for the firefighters working the blaze.
"They have been freaking awesome," Erickson said.
Erickson has been supplying pictures to The Watch during his repeated trips to the cabin. His pictures detail snow still packed high on the rock faces of the peaks near the fire. He said the area still has lots of moisture from winter and is amazed the fire has gained so much in terms of acreage.
"You can turn over a rock and see lots of moisture in the ground," Erickson said.
As for other Fourth of July fireworks displays around the region, Telluride is the only public display that's been officially cancelled so far. Silverton, Ouray and Montrose still have displays scheduled with possible cancellation subject to weather conditions closer to the holiday.

Ernst & Young: Leveraging Business-Savvy IT Veterans
For a company that operates on a global scale and has managed to garner approximately 135,000 employees worldwide, it is imperative for Ernst & Young to adopt a strategic hiring process.
Brandon McTavish, an experienced hire recruiter for Ernst & Young's Northeast sub-area, recruits consultants for the company's advisory services practice who in turn venture forth across the Northeast to service clients. The company employs roughly 180 highly qualified individuals who focus on IT consulting in the Northeast.
The advisory services practice offers its clients an array of information technology services.
The IT Makeup at Ernst & Young
The largest group of IT professionals is the IT risk and assurance team. "They offer information security and privacy, IT audit support and third-party reporting advisory services," McTavish said.
"Another group we have is called our IT advisory practice, and they're really divided up into a lot of different services," he added. "The major ones are IT strategy, IT effectiveness and transformation, IT operations and management, enterprise infrastructure and application advisory effectiveness."
In addition, there's a team of senior professionals who are referred to as the IT advisory group.
"The leaders of the IT advisory team who have joined the practice recently have been CIOs in other firms, senior managers [or] vice presidents in other companies and have come here to focus in on a number of different areas," McTavish explained.
One of the fastest growing teams in the IT advisory group is the enterprise applications team, which comprises…

5001 American Blvd West, Bloomington, MN | Directions 5543744.857512 -93.345775
Mon-Sun: 12am-12am
Neighborhoods: West Bloomington
Best thing I ever ate... – Recently enjoyed my first dinner visit to Oak City with business clients. We were "greeted and seated" promptly and immediatly our server was at our table reviewing specials and making wine recommendations. My group decided to let Jason our server do the driving, he put together apps and entrees that were spot on. Jasons service as well as the management team seemed to anticipate our every need and executed our dinner magnificently...and then, the Piece de resistance.. The best thing I ever ate, a banana cream pie dessert, like no other dessert I've ever enjoyed, it truly was a "slice of heaven".
Patio Party – Who Knew?
Went to check out late night at Oak City last Saturday night with my girlfriends, free champaign for ladies, dancing, patio scene was amazing, who knew? Oak City, we love you and we'll be back! Oh, ps, Jaime your server, awesome, he took care of us as if we were royalty!
Nice Patio, Awesome Staff, Great Eats – The wait-staff are expedient and attentive. The manager is very friendly and truly wants his customers to have an enjoyable experience at his restaurant.
Their internet page showed a dinner for 2 at $19.95, but this wasn't in the menu. When we asked about it, our waitress told us that special ended on Monday, and pointed out other value meals that were now available. She also said she would let someone know about it and they would remove that special from the internet site.
Without us complaining, the manager came to our table and apologized, and gave us a wonderful dessert at no charge. That is proactively assuring the customer is satisfied.
I highly recommend Oak City of Bloomington as a restaurant of choice.
Foods okay – Lunch soup and salad is okay, They don't seem to keep up on it enough. Something is always empty. Food is good though.
Racists, biggots, you name it. – I am not a person of color. I am a Caucasian that graduated from St. Cloud State University. Upon entering this place my friend (wearing baggy clothing) and I were able to enter the bar. Behind us was a man, wearing no baggier clothing than my friend and they refused to allow him entrance. I cannot explain how upset I was when I saw that he was declined entrance since he looked like the polar opposite of a trouble maker. The bouncers here clearly have discriminatory practices and I hope we can all brand together to put an end to racism.
Patio Party Alert – Went to Oak City Bloomington for the first time to celebrate a friends birthday. I was amazed at how busy this place is, DJ was playing awesome music, their patio was amazing, the manager heard we were celebrating and came out with a bottle of champagne for us, free! This is our new favorite place thats for sure.
Oh try their tenderloin bites, to die for!
No Visible Tattoo Dress Code?? – I was out celebrating my friends birthday Saturday night. Our last stop before heading back to the hotel was a place called Oak City(not my choice) located in Bloomington. Before even getting through the door I was told by the bouncer that I wasn't allowed in because I have "visible tattoos". I thought he was joking with me, but he wasn't. I was told the only way I was allowed in was if I put on a long sleeve shirt. To which I responded "if I put on a long sleeve shirt I would still have visible tattoos!" A friend of mine pointed out a girl on the patio smoking with visible tattoos on her arm, but the bouncer didn't care, he stuck to his stance of no visible tattoos. I was quite offended by the whole thing because my tattoos are professionally done at Uptown Tattoo and they are not offensive, racist, gang related, or anything of that nature. Last I checked they don't even have a dress code!
Glad they are so professional and mature about everything!
Unprofessional employees. Vulgar and offensive customers – A lovely waitress served us 2-for-1's for about an hour and we were enjoying our time, however there were multiple shady men circling the bar that did not allow for complete relaxation.
A female friend was confronted and cornered by an exceptionally shady gentleman. He was then escorted to the door since he was obviously heavily intoxicated. The bouncer at the door then gave him one more chance which he used to continue to harass customers. Multiple employees did not agree with our six person table that this one man was not safe, and should be escorted out. In fact, our entire table was then asked to leave!
We decided to leave the uncomfortable, and likely unsafe atmosphere. While entering our taxi we watched as the bouncer WALKED THE EXTREMELY INTOXICATED MAN TO HIS CAR AND WATCHED HIM DRIVE AWAY.
As the man drove away we asked the bouncer if the police would be informed of the drunk driver, or if he would call in the license plates and car model. The bouncer's then began to harass us, and let us know of his bar fight skills. He actually stood outside the door and yelled toward our taxi to try and aggravate us to fight. There was a curly haired manager who did try and keep the peace, however the bouncer was very unprofessional.
Needless to say, we will not return to this establishment.
Inappropriate behavior – The food and drink at Oak City was wonderful and we were able to get seated in the dining room in shorter amount of time than expected for a Saturday night. However, our experience was completely ruined when we witnessed one of the managers cussing and swear at one of his employees. To witness such an event was uncomfortable for my husband and me. I think this type of behavior is totally unacceptable and I can't even begin to imagine how staff is treated behind the scenes if they are treated this way in front of customers. We will never return to Oak City again.
A Great Night Out – My husband and I decided to try out this new place on Thursday night for dinner and check out their live music. He had the Ribeye and I had Cajun Chicken Alfredo. They were both fantastic. Server highly recommended their homemade Banana Cream Pie for dessert that she claimed is made from scratch and isnt assembled until the kitchen gets an order for it. I love Banana Cream pie and this was the best i have ever had hands down. As far as the music goes we were both blown away at how great this place was for live music. Performing that night was GB Leighton with his full band but it was done acoustically so you could still hang out and enjoy the music but still have a conversation. That was very, very cool. Service was great and the atmosphere was a 10. Best date i can remember having in a long time.
I highly recommend this place and we will definately be back.

Sample Professional Organizers Reviews
"VERY Professional installers
"I am disabled, unable to walk. The ladies(I am one) came in on our agreed schedules, helped me choose schedule as I required, and
"Very professional and efficient, hard-worker who did all of the physical work so that I could focus on sorting and making decisions about what to keep, donate, or put in trash. A+++ best quality - would definitely use again.
"As I previously mentioned
"i was very excited about having someone come to help me organize and i was hoping she would help me come up with some kind of system to stay on top of all the papers that come into my house. instead she kind of just sat there and told me to get rid of almost everything. most of my suggestions were met with what appeared to be disapproval. i didn't feel t comfortable with her, she was not particularly conversational and after a short while i basically just wanted to get the whole thing over with. now i can't find a lot of the things i had previously organized at least to some extent and i need to make time to undo and then redo what she did.
" to tackle. He also has a great sense of humor which he has used very well sometimes to help me, uh, release my hold on what is essentially clutter. Throughout these months, I have never regretted throwing out one thing. I've been given very good advice all along. Best money I've ever spent. Sure, I know how to organize, but not as well as the professionals. Knowing where "everything" is and living in a house that is largely uncluttered has been a great stress reduction. I There's also a wonderful sense of accomplishment.
"I bought an Angie's List Big Deal for 3 hours of professional organizing. I bought two of them because I knew 3 hours would not be enough. I called (If you are chronically disorganized like me, you will know what I mean!) We went through mountains of paper in piles, files, boxes and drawers.
" the house was complete and offered us to walk thru and see how it looked and review the prices. The sale took place as scheduled, the house was cleaned-out and complete before the scheduled time. Each crew member we encountered were professional and addressed any questions or thought I had throughout the process. We were very satisfied with the proceeds and how the house was left. Her crew left all personal items found for our retrieval. Thank You for that and not discarding those items. I would recommend this company to anyone.
"I wish I could say this was a successful experience, since I obviously wanted the service this company provides. I am only writing this review because I keep getting requests to review services, and I would much prefer to be able to recommend a local small business.

Carefree motorcycling fun for everyone! With the F 700 GS – the direct successor to the F 650 GS. A shorter gear transmission ratio in the 75 bhp engine enhances agility while at the same time guaranteeing the bike's familiar top-class handling. This makes the F 700 GS an ideal all-round machine within the GS family, suitable for every kind of rider – no matter how experienced.
GS feeling everywhere: the new design of the windshield and dial faces and the smoke-tinted turn indicators and LED rear light give the F 700 GS the grown-up look it deserves. The three colour variants offer something for everyone: muted Red Apple Metallic, masculine Ostra Grey metallic matt and dynamic Glacier Silver metallic.
That's the new F 700 GS. The ultimate all-rounder.

Writing Letters
Personally written letters are still one of the most effective means of communication with elected officials. Email campaigns are easy and efficient, but they are becoming ubiquitous and are a bit impersonal. The MAMA Campaign certainly will employ email campaigns at strategic moments, but those personally hand written letters are priceless. For a campaign like the MAMA campaign when we have a small but very vocal passionate constituency, the personal touch of personally written letters (by hand is great if possible) has a lot of impact. See the Citizens for Midwifery Website for more general information on writing letters to elected officals.
Letters are best faxed to Washington, DC offices. To find your congress members fax number, visit www.house.gov and www.senate.gov; once on these homepages, click on the search tool in the upper corners of the pages to find your own U.S. Senator or Representatives contact information.
Sign Up with the campaign to receive news and action alerts and we will send you targeted information about which officials really need those letters and what key points we suggest you make when writing your letters.

Diana Athill OBE (born December 21, 1917) is a British literary editor, novelist and memoirist who worked with some of the most important writers of the 20th century.
Early life[edit]
Diana Athill was born in the English county of Norfolk. Her parents were Major Lawrence Athill (1888-1957) and Alice Carr Athill (1895-1990). [2] Her maternal grandfather was William Carr (1862-1925). [3] Her maternal grandmother's father was James Franck Bright (1832-1920) a Master of University College, Oxford. Athill graduated from Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford in 1939[4] and worked for the BBC throughout the Second World War.
After the war Athill helped André Deutsch establish his publishing company and worked closely with many of his authors, including Philip Roth, Norman Mailer, John Updike, Mordecai Richler, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean Rhys, Gitta Sereny, Brian Moore, V. S. Naipaul, Charles Gidley Wheeler and David Gurr.
She retired in 1993 at the age of 75, after more than 50 years in publishing. She continues to influence the publishing world through her revealing memoirs about her editorial career. She is best known for her books of memoirs (these were not written in chronological order, Yesterday Morning being the account of her childhood), and has also translated various works from French.
She appeared on Desert Island Discs at the age of 86 and selected a recording of Haydn's The Creation as the most valued of the eight records and Thackeray's Vanity Fair as the book.[5]
Athill was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours.[6]
In 2008, she won the Costa Book Award for her memoir Somewhere Towards The End, a book about old age. [7] For the same book, she also received the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2009. [8]
In June 2010, she was the subject of a BBC documentary, "Growing Old Disgracefully", part of the Imagine series.[9] In 2013, she was listed as one of the fifty best-dressed over 50s by the Guardian. [10]
Personal life[edit]
Accordiing to journalist Nick Brown, "She attributes her flight from convention to her first love, Tony Irvine, an RAF pilot with whom she fell in love at age 15, and who was blessed, she says, 'with a very open approach to life.'"[11] The failure of her relationship to Irvine, her "great love", "blighted" many years. "My affairs after that, I kept them trivial if I possibly could. I was frightened of intensity, because I knew I was going to be hurt."[11]
She says she was a "sucker for oppressed foreigners", an inclination she described as a "funny kink" in her maternal instinct: "I never particularly wanted children, but it came out in liking lame ducks."[11] One lover, the Egyptian author Waguih Ghali, a depressive, committed suicide in her flat. Her most remarkable affair, about which she later wrote a book, was "a fleeting, and distinctly odd" relationship with Hakim Jamal, an American Black radical who asserted he was God. Jamal's other lover Gale Benson, was murdered by Trinidadian Black Power leader Michael X. Jamal was killed by others a year later.[11] Athill's account of these events was published in 1993 as Make Believe: A True Story.
Her longest relationship was with the Jamaican playwright Barry Reckord. The affair lasted eight years, but he shared her flat for forty. She described it as a "detached" sort of marriage.[11]

It's been a bit since the last time I posted about turning WordPress into a CMS. I've learned a bit more about WordPress, and some really great plugins have come to my attention. WordPress has evolved a bit, and so have the types of sites I work on here in Benin.
The following plugins have a lot in common. For the most part they are:
- Activate and forget. We configure everything, and the client never even needs to know the plugin's there.
- Simple to use. In many cases, we've sacrificed extensive features for ease of use. Clients don't need a million different things to worry about—they just want their websites to work.
- Internationalized. Seriously, folks, it's not that hard. Not all the plugins listed provide translations, but they are all translatable.

EADS and Airbus to sponsor UK aerospace bursary scheme for up to 500 students
London, 21 February 2013
EADS and Airbus are proud sponsors of a joint UK government and industry initiative to fund up to 500 Masters Degrees in Aerospace Engineering over three years. The £6m bursary fund, opening today, will support up to 500 graduates and employees studying for Masters (MSc) level degrees in aerospace engineering.
The scheme is part of a wider initiative by government and industry, as part of the UK's Aerospace Growth partnership, to encourage and support young talent building careers in aerospace. Leading UK aerospace and defence contractors, including EADS and Airbus, have committed £3m in total to the cost of the scheme.
The bursaries will be open to employees with qualifications up to degree level and to current BSc students, and will cover the cost of tuition fees up to a maximum of £9,500. Additional support, up to 75% of fee costs, will be available for the employees of small and medium size enterprises. The programme will also encourage participating students to forge relationships with UK aerospace companies, through project work and placements leading to future employment opportunities. Admission to the scheme will be administered by the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Aeronautical Society.
Robin Southwell, CEO of EADS UK, said: "Engineering is at the heart of the government's agenda to help rebalance our economy and young talent is the lifeblood of our industry. This scheme is a milestone in our drive to keep the sector globally competitive over the decades to come. We at EADS are hugely proud to be part of this initiative, which will create a new generation of aerospace engineers who are urgently needed in our industry at the moment."
Mark Stewart, Airbus General Manager and Human Resources Director said: "This is excellent news both for Airbus and the wider UK aerospace industry. The decision to invest in developing the aerospace engineers of the future shows the type of long term thinking we need to keep the UK at the forefront of the global aviation industry. The UK has the second largest aerospace sector in the world and investments such as this are absolutely key in helping secure the high level skills that we need to keep ahead of our competitors and secure continued success for future generations of aerospace workers."

Notes to editors
About the programme
The scheme is aimed at students who, but for the bursary, would not otherwise study at Masters (MSc) level, who intend to seek employment in the aerospace industry, and company employees at sponsor companies and SMEs wishing to up skill. The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Aeronautical Society are overseeing the programme, and will test in the competition process the need for the award and the commitment to work in the aerospace sector through the application and interview process. The process will seek to enable a more diverse range of people to reach Chartered Engineer status and to work in the aerospace sector.
The sponsor companies are BAE Systems, Bombardier Aerospace (Belfast), EADS/Airbus, Finmeccanica UK, GKN, MBDA Missile Systems, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, Rolls-Royce and Spirit AeroSystems. The Department for Enterprise and Learning in the Northern Ireland Administration is also supporting the programme financially.
The courses will be aligned to the priorities outlined in the 'Strategic Vision for UK Aerospace' document produced by the Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP), launched at Farnborough on 10 July. The AGP brings business and Government together to tackle barriers to growth, boost exports and grow the number of high value jobs in the UK.

I have been playing point and click games for a long time ( I am an old man ). From the Farmville style Facebook games, to something like this. Where you get to shoot people and build a brothel.
I like new missions, I think having an online forum based tutorial with pictures is neat. I don't really put too much focus on the artist interviews, but I am not saying others wouldn't. I am an artist myself and enjoy any process and success.
However, this game is having fundamental flaws that are causing the people who enjoy playing this game to become upset. I think a leader board is great, but it doesn't serve me at all when I have NO neighbors to compete with. I used to have about 60 or 70, now I have one, and that individual never plays the game anymore.
I am excited for new missions, and weapons, and buildings. These are all great things to implement into the game. At this point though, I think it is paramount that you hold off on the interviews, user guides, leader boards, new missions etc. and fix your game. Put out a great product, not one that people are just willing to tolerate.
Thanks DC!

Thus, the following months were used to check the left financial and personnel resources and to completely redesign the experiment. The initial experiment duration was reduced to one week. In parallel, negotiations with OHB Sweden about additional costs and the scheduling were conducted and it took a long time until an agreement could be achieved, but we finally succeeded.
The experiment named ARGON (Advanced Rendezvous demo using GPS and Optical Navigation) will be conducted from Sweden for five days. Beginning on 24th April 2012, a team of five colleagues form the GSOC Spaceflight Technology department will supervise the execution of the last GSOC experiment from Solna. They will fully concentrate on ARGON whilst the flight operations are carried out by the OHB-SE personnel. It was absolutely clear for all participants, that the PRISMA satellites could not be operated by GSOC again only for this experiment. The effort for preparation and conduction of a safe control handover would be out of all proportion to the ARGON experiment.
The main task of ARGON is to perform a ground-based rendezvous to a non-cooperative Client (Tango) using angle-only vision-based measurements from approximately 30 km down to 3 km separation. The experiment will be highly representative of the on-orbit-servicing scenario envisioned for the DLR's DEOS mission, which is currently in a preliminary design phase (Phase-B).
Herewith, I am delighted in announcing another Blog entry soon, which will report about execution and the results of ARGON.

Cancer.Net Feature Articles
Cancer.Net Feature Articles are designed to provide in-depth information on topics of interest, as well as practical information on cancer care and treatment.
ASCO member Evan J. Lipson, MD, launched a website that offers people with cancer and their families an opportunity to record and preserve audio interviews as a way to share their personal stories with others. Here, Cancer.Net talks with Dr. Lipson to learn more about why he created this website, SeizetheDays.org.
A person with cancer may have more than one option for treating the disease, and it may be difficult to choose among them. In making this choice, patients often ask for the opinions of family members. And, in some cases, family members may disagree with each other and with the patient, creating conflict when they need each other's support the most. This is particularly complex when the patient is a child or an adult who is medically unable to make decisions. This article provides suggestions on how to keep the lines of communication open and work together to make treatment choices.
Physical therapists are valuable members of the cancer care team. To explain their role, Cancer.Net welcomes Jean O'Toole, PT, MPH, CLT-LANA who has 40 years of experience in physical therapy and has worked at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston since 1992. She has a particular interest and experience in physical therapy for people with cancer.
For various reasons, people with cancer and their families may decide to travel to receive care. Some—particularly those who reside in rural areas—may have limited access to oncologists and treatment facilities in the local area. Others may elect to travel to consult with a specialist, seek a second opinion on a diagnosis or proposed treatment plan, or undergo a therapy that isn't widely available, such as radioactive iodine therapy or proton beam therapy.

1A teams from the San Juan Basin League and the Western Slope League square off to see who advances to Regionals at Eagle Valley High School in Gypsum, next Saturday, March 3.
On the girls' side, the No. 1-ranked Norwood Mavericks (11-0 in league play) have a first-round bye. They will play Friday against the winner of the Nucla v. North Park matchup.
The Ouray Lady Trojans, ranked No. 4 in the SJBL with an 0-11 record, will play at noon on Thursday against the Vail Christian Saints, No. 1 in the WSL with a 7-7 record.
On the boys' side, SJBL No. 1 Norwood, with a 7-2 league record, play Thursday at 1:30 p.m. against WSL No. 4-ranked North Park (0-11 in league play).
At 4:30 p.m. Thursday, the Ouray Trojans (2-7 and No. 2 in SJBL) go up against the No. 3 De Beque Dragons (2-8 in the Western Slope League).
Ouray Athletic Director Bernie Pearce sent this analysis of the 1A contests:
"Here's what I've observed regarding the Norwood and Ouray teams.
"The district tournament represents a new season, one in which everyone starts out 0-0. Granted, a particular team's 0-0 may have more substance than another's, in terms of win/loss momentum going in. Yet the surprising nature of high school sports shoves the door wide open!
"The Norwood girls are an example of a team on a mission. Last year, they lost their [state tournament] first-round contest to eventual state champs, the Simla Cubs, by around seven points, so they are bound and determined to make it into the title game this year. They even have team T-shirts inscribed with the day, date and time of the 1A girls state championship contest, so they are literally wearing their game-hearts on their sleeve.
"The Norwood Maverick boys are a nifty squad with great ball movement and some potent outside shooting that strikes from all locations in the frontcourt. They are quick and surprisingly sturdy defensively by grinding out solid position for rebounds and crisp outlet passes to start the fast break.
"The Ouray Lady Trojans will look to benefit from the good fortune of play-off naiveté and a recently developed ball-control offense to calm their young nerves and allow some latent talent to come alive right when it's needed versus Vail Christian. The script will be: They only need to win one game to advance.
"The Ouray boys have an even match-up against De Beque in their first game, and the tools to turn an early-December-missing-two-starters-on-the-road 12-point defeat into a victory on a neutral court. Look for this one to be physical from the opening tip, and decided by the team with the deepest mental toughness.
"Both of the district champs and runners-up from Saturday's contests in Olathe move on to Regionals, Saturday, March 3. Game times are to be determined. The two representatives from our district square off in cross-bracketed fashion against their counterparts from District No. 8. This time, only the victors advance to the state tournament."
The bigger 2A schools head south to Cortez for their district tournament. The No. 2-ranked Ridgway boys (8-3 in league play) will face No. 4 Telluride (6-6) on Friday night. Both teams are riding three-game win streaks, though Ridgway did win both the previous encounters between the two this season.
Ridgway's 2A girls (ranked No. 2 in SJBL at 10-2) also hold a statistical advantage over their semifinal rivals Telluride (No. 3, 8-5). Although the Miners won their only other meeting this year in a close one, 46-43.
The other girls' semifinal pits No. 6 Dolores (5-5) against No. 4 Ignacio (7-5). Winners will play on Saturday for the district championship. The top three teams from 2A Districts advance to Regionals: the winners go to Durango next weekend; runners-up head to Alamosa; and the third-place finishers travel to Grand Junction. That way, according to Telluride Middle/High School Athletic Director Mike Hughes, "a strong league can send as many as three teams to State. They don't have to play each other again [and eliminate one another] in Regionals play."

I am remodeling my bathroom and discovered the floor sags through the middle of the room. I purchased a new tub and shower base for installation but I am concerned how to level these.
We removed the 3/4" wood flooring and plan to install 1/2" cement board and tile for the floor. The manufacturers recommend mortar underneath both the tub and shower base.
- Is it ok to place cement board under the tub and shower base and then mortar?
- To level these, should I apply the cement board, then shim the components to level, then apply mortar? What is correct?
- Does mortar serve as a method to level?
Any suggestions will be helpful. I alway try to do things right but this is a first for me

Justin Bieber and his Frankenstein
I finally had the chance to read The Hollywood Reporter article on Justin Bieber this morning. I also finally had to poo this morning, my first since Sunday. So I did them both together. It's a five page article so the timing was perfect. I highly recommend. Not because Bieber has anything insightful to share though. Full Story
Robert Pattinson in Rob Ford's afterglow

It is a new day. And Mayor Rob Ford is at City Hall in Toronto. The morning is full of possibilities.

Benedict Cumberbatch's lock of hair

Maybe it's because I've been listening to the words "eat pussy" come out of Rob Ford's mouth all morning but suddenly everything seems brighter, nicer, easier to look at. Seth Meyers is apparently strongly considering making it a sketch on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Full Story
Riggins and his hockey stick
Bauer, Splash
Taylor Kitsch was photographed in New York yesterday with a hockey stick which is normally what Canadians are associated with, and not crack and prostitutes. I feel like Riggs is letting us down. It's seems like it's been a quiet year for Kitsch even though he's been working steadily. Full Story
Baby sleeps …after sex?
Rob Ford didn't admit to anything else yesterday. The Iron Sheik however did challenge him to a wrestling match and promised to f-ck him up. So, there's that. It wasn't totally a bust for Canadian pride on Wednesday though. When Rob Ford doesn't deliver, Justin Bieber will. Full Story
Lunged me back to life
Here are the Canadians who've been representing Canada on the world stage lately: Rob Ford and Justin Bieber Is it our finest moment? Or our lowest moment? Debatable. There is however a Canadian whose representation of Canada is never debatable. Celine Dion is ALWAYS AMAZING. Full Story
Baby wants to come
So Justin Bieber went clubbing in Panama. And when he was leaving the club, he took 10 women home with him. One of those women was a prostitute. She's now telling her story to the local papers. According to her, this is what happened: She and JB smoked some pot. Then this: "He asked me in English if I wanted all of his semen, but I don't understand English. Full Story
Promoting the Greatest Canadian Love Story
Santi/ Splash
We have so much to be proud of here in Canada. Earlier this year, Chris Hadfield was a maple leaf badass up in space. Last week, one of our most treasured writers, Alice Munro, won the Nobel Prize in Literature. And now… Now Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger, newlyweds, are promoting their new single/her new album/their relationship/I'm not sure. Full Story
Blake & Ryan return to the birthplace of their love
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds arrived in New Orleans on Sunday where he'll be shooting a new movie called Selfless. The significance of New Orleans? Well, that's where they shot Green Lantern…when he was still married to Scarlett Johansson. The relationship did not develop until after he and Scarjo were over but Blake was into it, totally. Full Story
Bieber can't exhale
Not when he's popping out his abs for you on Instagram. Justin Bieber is cut, OK? He trains with his trainer. He's benefitting from his 19 year old metabolism. The more ripped he's getting, the lower his pants are falling. But not like this: Full Story
Tim Riggins at TIFF
Alberto E. Rodriguez /Jemal Countess /Getty Images
Sorry I forgot to write about this yesterday. How could I forget to write about Tim Riggins?!? The TIFF flu, that's how. Here are some photos of Taylor Kitsch at the festival over the last few days. Sunday night were at the after-party for The Grand Seduction. Brendan Gleeson was there too. Full Story
Boy, I want, to be witchu
I started the day listening to Celine Dion's new song Loved Me Back To Life. It's a real leg lunger. It sounds like it's been written specifically for leg lunging. She can totally drop a leg lunge in there every 15 seconds if she wants to. And she does. Always. But why did they have to f-ck around with her voice so much? It's not like Celine doesn't have a voice. Full Story
Rihanna shat on my Gossip Genie but not on Harry Styles
Larry Busacca/ Jamie McCarthy/ Neilson Barnard/ Kevin Mazur/ Rick Diamond/ Getty
I've been praying hard at my Gossip Genie for a Rihanna-Drake re-hookup. Have you noticed that Drake isn't "linked" to many women the way famous men are constantly being "linked" to women? There's a Toronto bias here at work, sure, but if you know about Drake and his relationship with his mother, and if you read his recent profile in GQ Full Story

text: In Milos Forman's costume drama, set in late-eighteenth-century Spain, the miscast Natalie Portman plays Inés Bilbatua, a sweet young Catholic girl who doesn't care for pork. As a result, she is accused by the Inquisition of having heretical Jewish tendencies and shut away in a church dungeon. Through a mutual acquaintance—the painter Francisco Goya—her family asks a monk, the opportunistic Brother Lorenzo (in a wonderfully suave performance by Javier Bardem), to intervene. Instead of helping her, the monk impregnates her, and things go downhill from there. Goya, as played by Stellan Skarsgård, is an affable but unremarkable fellow; to make matters worse, the paintings he creates are poorly rendered reproductions, compounding the feeling of ersatz historical drama. The high point of this otherwise misguided film is a dinner at which the Inquisition's use of torture is coolly debated—with obvious echoes of Abu Ghraib—by Inés's father and Brother Lorenzo, leading to a highly illuminating demonstration of its efficacy.
